The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. — Mark 15:38
The distance to God has been removed.
God remains holy, but His presence has been extended to His people. When the curtain opened, the inner sanctuary was not defiled. Rather, the people of God were made holy. The Holy of Holies has moved from a building to a place inside you and me.
There is another curtain, of course. A curtain inside our hearts. Opening that curtain is God’s work. If you are looking for the glory of God, it is already inside you. Remember, the glory will someday be revealed in us (Romans 8:18). What does that mean? It means it’s already there.
It took Solomon seven years to build the temple. But it takes God a lifetime to build a believer. Someday a new curtain will be torn from top to bottom and we will stand in awe at what we see.
